Scattered storms will once again develop this afternoon and continue into the evening hours. Cloud to ground lightning will be a concern for any outside activities. Remember, When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors! #mrxwx

Cleaning and disinfection still work effectively against COVID-19. Using alcohol-based sanitizer, soap, and disinfecting products is still effective in destroying COVID-19.

Think your home #insurance policy will cover you during a flood or a flash flood? Think again. Only flood insurance covers the damages a home might sustain during a flood. For more information about flood insurance, visit floodsmart.gov. Details: tn.gov/commerce/news/2021/6/…

Never drive through a flooded road. In addition to the risk of being swept away by flowing water....you have no idea how the road below has been compromised
12 Jul 2021
It only takes a few inches of quickly-flowing water to sweep many vehicles away, and you never know what the floodwaters have done to the road beneath murky waters.
The road may not be stable, or even there! Turn around, don't drown.

It doesn't have to be raining where you are for lightning to be a threat. Lightning can strike 10-15 MILES from a thunderstorm! 🌩️
Remember: See a Flash, Dash Inside!

TN doesn’t get hurricanes directly, but we do feel their severe weather effects. Water is a deadly threat during hurricane season and life-threatening flooding is possible far inland.

🌧️ Remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown.

Line of storms currently across Middle Tennessee will sweep eastward brining widespread showers and thunderstorms this afternoon/evening. Some strong winds will be possible, but hopefully most people just get some decent rain which we've been missing lately.

Please don't panic buy gas. This can create shortages at stations. Only buy what you need and NEVER use unapproved containers for fuel.

Please only buy what you would normally. Panic buying is creating the shortages
